The search for new drugs remains a priority, with growing interest in medicinal plants and their biologically active compounds. These compounds have complex structures that are challenging to replicate at the atomic level and exhibit a more intricate mechanism of action than synthetic drugs. This Special Issue aims to provide valuable information to the scientific community regarding the bioactivity of plant extracts and natural compounds, focusing on their anti-cancer, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-infectious properties and their potential in treating age-related disorders and metabolic syndrome.
